Speeco says it's alright to use transmission fluid during the winter, I have a 55 gallon drum of it, is there any reason I cant/shouldn't use it now?
No problem . From the manual The hydraulic reservoir must be filled with the oil provided. AW 46 hydraulic oil is recommended when oil is needed. Automatic transmisssion fluid can be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees F. Use only clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir. Fill the hydraulic tank with approximately 3.5 to 4 gallons of hydraulic oil.
Interesting.... I've always went to tractor supply and gotten a 5 gallon bucket when they go on sell of tractor hydraulic fluid...
